POULTRY ON THE FARM.


women Better Adapted 70 the Manage.
mont Of Chickens Than Men.
No farm would be completely fur.
aished without poultry. and perhaps
there are none without some species of
the feathered tribe; but it is doubtful il
many Of them make poultry pay as well
as it should, and Is well as it can, with
a little knowledge Of tho proper man.
agement This part Of the farm depart
ment is usually left to the management
Of the women. and they think that il the
table is furnished and all the surplus is
sold. their duty ends. It is true that
agricultural journals have changed this
on many farms, but that there is much
more vet to be learned and put into
practice. ID evident from the fact that
our country imports millions Of dollars
worth Of eggs alone.
There are many women who would
be benefited by more outdoor employ
ment, and they are better adapted to
the management Of the poultry than
the men are. If they will only properly
inform themselves upon the subject.
Many women. however. would have
serious obstacles in the way. because
Of lack Of suitable buildings and en-
closures. l say serious obstacles. be-
cause some men can not be convinced
that chickens need any protection moro
than that afforded by the warmest limb
Of an apple tree. 1t will be useless to
try to make poultry pay without
needed conveniences, and unless one
can have them it will be useless to UNI
dertake il.
Poultry droppings alone will pay
for all the feed the poultry consume, il
properly cared for. in the returns it
will bring from worn-Out land. or the
quantity and quality Of fruit when APP
piled to the orchards. - Cor. Ohis
